Lost moments:
Magic has vanished,
Your jaded
Skies faded
Along with that smile you wear,
Flower in your hair.
Lost moments:
You’re last in the queue,
No passport,
No ticket,
No money to pay your way,
Your future looks grey.
Lost moments:
Unhappy alone,
Life’s on hold,
Bed is cold,
But beyond every sorrow’s
a bright tomorrow.

My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Music Prompt # 63 – Daniel Powter “Bad Day”
Sanaa is our hostess this week with a music video by Daniel Powter. Now, I’ve never heard of him and I have to admit it’s not my kind of music. But I was taken by the title – I’ve had my share of bad days and can relate to the sentiment in the lyrics. This poem isn’t my usual style, either, but it turned into lyrics all on its own!

It’s lovely poem.

Very much like song lyrics — I like your poem. And, all I know about him is that this was a big hit in North America, and he is originally from Canada.

Thank you, Sanaa! Sometimes when the music isn’t your style, it’s easier to work with it. You don’t get so hung up on the original piece. 🙂
